Harrison Ford is taking a hiatus from filming "Indiana Jones 5" after sustaining a shoulder injury on set. The 78-year-old was hurt rehearsing a fight scene, a spokesperson for the Walt Disney Co. said Wednesday.
Production is expected to continue and the filming schedule will be reconfigured as needed while treatment options are evaluated.
Filming on the fifth installment in the series began earlier this month in the U.K. under the direction of James Mangold. The film is set to be released in July 2022.
Deadline first reported the news.
It's not the first on set injury for Ford. In 2014, he broke his leg on the set of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" when he was crushed beneath a heavy door of the Millennium Falcon while filming at Pinewood Studios in London.
Actress and comedian Rachael Harris will host the Art Directors Guild’s 29th Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards on Saturday, February 15, at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown.
The ceremony celebrates outstanding production design in film, television, commercials, music videos, and animation. This year’s event will also honor Academy Award®-nominated filmmaker Jason Reitman with the Cinematic Imagery Award and feature Lifetime Achievement Awards for Lisa Frazza, Barbara Mesney, Dan Sweetman, and J. Dennis Washington. Legendary production designer Carl Jules Weyl will be inducted into the ADG Hall of Fame.
“I am honored to host the ADG Awards this year,” said Harris. “Production designers and their teams are the unsung heroes of film and television, creating the worlds we inhabit on screen. Their artistry and craftsmanship inspire me and I’m delighted to celebrate their incredible work.”
Harris most recently was a lead in the Disney+ anthology series “Goosebumps,” based on the best-selling books by R.L. Stine. A veteran of improvisation and comedy, she launched her career with “The Groundlings” before becoming a correspondent on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.” She has appeared in numerous TV series including “Friends,” “Frasier,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Modern Family,” and “New Girl.” Fans will also recognize her for her roles in “Suits” and as a series regular on the hit show “Lucifer.”
On the big screen, Harris’ credits include “The Hangover,” the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” trilogy and Christopher Guest’s celebrated “Best in Show,” “A Mighty Wind” and “For Your Consideration.”
